The stagnant water on the ground reflected the upside-down furnishings, and Li Ran finally leaned against the wall and slowly walked down the long slope, and then looked around unhurriedly, and then said without being salty: "How did you make yourself like this?" ”

"Or else?" Sitting on the steps and watching the companions who arrived one after another perfunctorily take out the medicine and bandages, Kong Zhong tilted his head and avoided it thoughtfully, "Okay, instead of using these things to bandage me into a complete injury, it is better to move me up with a handle, if you can get closer to Ling Shucheng, it will be the best treatment." ”

"I thought you'd win easily." Li Ran stood far away with his hands folded, as if he didn't want to step into the rather terrifying pool of blood on the ground, "I remember you once confidently told me that Team Leader Ling had always put himself in the position of a saint. It would be uncomfortable for him to admit that he was both a poor victim and an odious accomplice, right? ”

"Don't get me wrong, I say he's a 'saint' in some way, but it's not ironic at all." Gritting his teeth and snorting, Kong Zhongsi pressed Ran Ran's bleeding shoulder hard, "I admire this kind of person who can stick to the life principles he has set since he was a child...... It is a pity that people always have to grow up, and the destruction of naïve ideals is inevitable. ”

"Are you talking about him, or are you satirizing the founders of the water city?" Li Ran asked flatly.

"Who knows." Kong Zhongsi sneered, but his eyes were cold, "He's looking for my location." ”

"Looking for your location? Why. Li Ran covered his mouth and coughed lightly, "I can't think of a reason why you two have to fight to the death." ”

"You don't know him, so you can't understand his logic." Kong Zhongsi replied, "In Ling Shucheng's values, 'what you want to do' actually has a higher priority than 'what you should do'. In other words, he cares more about achieving what he feels is the right goal than achieving the objectively 'best result'. ”

"Does he think it's the right goal?" Li Ran shook his head, "A person who blindly trusts his own judgment is either too arrogant or really stupid. ”

"He can't blame himself either. His father can calmly throw his son into all kinds of dangerous Longtan tiger's den, but he has been trying hard to maintain his little juvenile heart, which is really funny. Why do you say that? Do you want to put some kind of expectation on your son that he can't achieve? Kong Zhongsi held his head high and took a deep breath with the frequency of dripping, "But it's also." If a person can't even believe his own judgment, is he going to live on the orders of others all his life? From this point of view, Ling Peifeng is not a terrible father. Because of his meticulous efforts, Ling Shucheng has maintained his inner peace for more than 20 years in such a bad environment. It's an enviable extravagance. ”

"Sounds like you're sorry for him." Perhaps to distract himself, Li Ran lowered his eyes and continued to chat with him casually, "It's as if you weren't the one who just fought that little monster." ”

"I don't hate him, just as he doesn't hate me at this time...... He might even sympathize with me a little. But this does not contradict the two of us fighting to the death. ”

"You two are really incomprehensible."

"Hah, maybe." Kong Zhongsi laughed heartily, but his expression was very serious, "After all, he can only rely on this extreme way to fight the huge contradiction in his heart now." ”

"Yes." Li Ran responded, and subconsciously glanced up.

"Can you guess what the best ending he envisioned for himself?" Kong Zhongsi's fingers were aimed at everyone in the room in turn, "Die with all of us here." ”

"Oh." Li Ran nodded, "Very personal heroic thoughts." ”

"Heroes? No, it was his atonement. Kong Zhongsi's tone was a little demagogic and mysterious, "For the sake of those teachers and friends who died because of us, he must not just let us go." But he couldn't shamelessly stand on his father's side, and pride himself on killing us Pangu traitors. In his temperament, the cruel facts now laid before him were enough to completely destroy his will. If he compares his heart to his heart, he can now maintain his sanity, and not directly bent on death is already an example enough to be written into psychology textbooks. After all, when people face the blow that their own psychology can't solve, most of them will vent by hurting others, and a small number of gentle guys will try to punish themselves. He is clearly the latter. ”

"That's why you use almost self-mutilating fighting methods to suppress your inner 'desire for death'? He's a very interesting person. But you just said 'heart to heart'. Li Ran glanced at him, "I thought you really had no heart." ”

"I used to think I didn't. But when I actually saw the corpse, I realized that there was no need for a rehearsal of the movements that had been planned in advance. As if an invisible needle and thread were repairing the wounds all over his body at high speed, Kong Zhongsi exhaled as he pressed his numb shoulder in pain, "But I want to correct you, the real obstacle in his path to death is only because of a girl." ”

"Oh?" Even though the area was temporarily protected by a barrier, a huge amount of rain and seawater was still leaking from the ceiling. Two unfamiliar spirit bodies were captured from afar among the countless cold instruments, and Li Ran's attention was unconsciously becoming more and more distracted.

No, it's not like that. One of them, even after all these years, is all too familiar to him.

Covering his mouth and coughing a few times to hide his expression, Li Ran's eyes were a little sloppy.

He suddenly felt that he could not bear the clammy cold. The rain is like an endless thread of silk that spreads into his small world, announcing the arrival of a certain inevitable moment.

"Li Ran?" Kong Zhongsi noticed his abnormality, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"He seems ready to get moving." Li Ran's face did not change when he lied, "Ling Shucheng is alone." ”

"Oh? Sure enough. Kong Zhongsi was not surprised, "I knew he would choose this way...... But he's recovering faster than I thought, is he overusing his abilities again? He didn't feel any pain. ”

"It should be." Li Ran's eyelashes fluttered slightly, "To be honest, I'm a little appreciative of him now." ”

"Then you really don't hold grudges. Didn't your girl die at his hands? Focusing almost all of his attention on capturing the figure jumping through the floor, Kong Zhongsi didn't seem to be aware of something.

"yes." Li Ran's voice was mixed with a faint sigh, "It's reasonable and reasonable, I have to challenge this miracle child with all my might." ”

"No, no, you all had better take it easy. Don't think that we can get any advantage under him by having a slight advantage in numbers. After all, it only takes him a knife to kill you, but your attacks on him are hardly fatal. The other party is a monster who is not afraid of getting hurt in the true sense. Kong Zhongsi followed the voice and leaned sideways, "Li Ran, can you use your ability to directly control him at this distance?" ”

"It's not easy, because the other party not only has a certain mental ability, but also has a very chaotic mood at the moment." Li Ran replied, "If there are different levels of difficulty in using abilities for different people, then this Ling Team Leader is undoubtedly the most difficult one. He should have a good memory, too much information in his brain, and a strong sense of controlling emotions, and the key memory points are too deeply hidden......"

"Okay, you don't have to praise him anymore." Kong Zhongsi waved his hand, "Then you can hide a little and watch from a distance." In case the right time to make a move, just do your best to help. ”

"Don't worry." Li Ran passed between a few of his companions who were suddenly on alert, "Then I wish you good luck." ”

A green tendon bloomed on one side of his neck that was not usually obvious, and after several failed struggles, Yuan Sui had to accept the reality that he could only be fixed in place like a puppet. She opened her mouth in vain in the raging storm, but her tight throat could not shout anything.

She wanted to tremble, to wave her arms wildly at the sky like a madman, to throw herself on the puddles and cry, but she wanted to rush straight forward and hold down the self-righteous bastard and beat her head to toe.

Although with her force value, she probably can't do it. But maybe she can count on Ling Shucheng's conscience, who is destined to come back, to find out and take the initiative to bear the anger he should bear.

Why could he make decisions for himself so righteously?

For many years, she thought she had grown up, that she was independent, that she had finally escaped the spell of having to be left behind. But she didn't expect that today, she has to face the dilemma of pinning all her hopes on others again, and she can only stupidly sit in place and wait for fate to arrange.

But fate never looked after her.

The wind tore over the large umbrella she was hiding overhead. The rain poured over her head. The lightness and dizziness caused by a low-grade fever are becoming more and more difficult to ignore. Yuan Sui looked at the dark world blankly, and for the first time felt cold and painful.

What else could she do at such a time?

He closed his eyes hard and squeezed out the last tears. Yuan Sui exhaled a long breath and prayed earnestly for the first time in his life.

God, no matter what denomination you come from, whether you are materialistic or spiritualistic, please listen to my wish at least once!

If the guy who suffered a thousand knives could return safely, she was willing to exchange all her good fortune from now on.

If she had such a thing as "good luck".

Bending a bitter smile at the corner of his mouth, Yuan Sui made a muffled sound in his mouth.

"It's no wonder that after witnessing such a thing as 'aliens', there are still people who are unwilling to give up their worship of God." She muttered hoarsely to herself, "It's just because, they have no way out but to pray for miracles......"
